Development and Simulation of Non-Linear Gear Dynamics Model
Abstract: With the development of high-speed mechanical transmission, the dynamic characteristics of gear transmission require continuous improvement and more accurate prediction of the gear system dynamics becomes more and more important. The literature revealed that the gear pair transmission system is inherently non-linear which exhibits complex behavior and it is significant to study its vibration characteristics in detail and to analyze the influencing factors. A nonlinear dynamic model of gear transmission …

Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Downburst Wind on Buildings with Various Geometrical Shapes
Abstract: A “Downburst” is an important weather phenomenon in which an airmass comes down with high velocity towards the ground from the cloud level during a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms occur frequently in the eastern and north-eastern part of India. Thunderstorms over Gangetic West Bengal and Assam is popularly known as ‘Kalbaishakhi’ and ‘Bardoisila’ respectively. Severe thunderstorms are known to cause detrimental impact on various facets of national activity like civil and defense …

Design and Development of a Pressure Measurement and Calibration Device for Use in Compression Therapy to Treat and Prevent Venous Ulcers
Abstract: Compression uses a combination of constricting clothing, bandages, or wraps to press against the skin and reduce swelling. By reducing the amount of fluid that accumulates in the affected area, tissue damage can be prevented or minimized. Compression therapy is a fundamental treatment for the root cause of venous ulcers and for preventing their recurrence. Various systems for implementing compression are available to suit individual patient needs and improve adherence …

The “Less Paper” Library and Its Effects on Environment, Economy and Efficiency
Abstract: AbstractDuring the last 40 years, people began talking about the option of a “paperless library”. The concept of electronic format has been emerging out, i.e., everything is available on the internet; everything is now in electronic form so there is no need of paper. It coincided with the advent of the personal computer, and the hope was that all documents could be processed electronically and that paper would become inappropriate. …
